The Sentinels of Lake Baccio

Highlight • Lake

Arriving at Lake Baccio from Lake Santo in Modena, you will find some beech trees of considerable size: they are the "sentinels" of the lake, centuries-old "guards" of one of the most beautiful views of the Modena Apennines.

Grotta Rosa Equipped Section

Highlight • Climb

The Pink Grotto is the only equipped passage on the stretch of the ridge between Monte Rondinaio and Monte Giovo.
Athletic stretch to be addressed carefully and if possible uphill.
NOTE: in July 2021 I found the aided section completely renovated.

Summit cross of Monte Giovo

Highlight • Summit

The summit of Monte Giovo can be reached with routes of medium difficulty from Lake Santo; certainly the most challenging (but recommended) access is by following the ridge coming from Monte Rondinaio, with the equipped passage of the Grotta Rosa.
The show is guaranteed: on clear days, the panorama stretches from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Apuan Alps, from the Po Valley to the Alps.
